WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!?!!?!?

I squirt First Defence up my nose
I take max strength echinachea tablets
I glug Sambucol extra strength
I eat enough garlic to end a platoon of vampires
I have a berrocca tablet every day
I drink too many smoothies
I eat a good diet, always get my 5-a-day
I go for long walks in the fresh air once or twice a day
I wash my hands with soap and hot water
I take magnesium glycinate tablets
I spend a lot of time resting up
I drink masses of water

And yet I'm STILL ALWAYS LURGIFIED!!! I have not had a day since mid December when I've not either had that 'trying to fight something off' feeling or 'Definitely got a virus now' feeling! I'm bloody tried of it! What more can I do?!

I literally feel your pain! Just found out I have ferritin levels at the lowest normal level, so not flagged up by blood test results as abnormal. I'm investigating iron supplements. It's just one thing that might make a difference!

Vitamin D
Vitamin C
Zinc
Very important for your immune system

I was given ferrous Fumarate for low ferritin, bought it over the counter at the chemist.
